jdc Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) I've been building this for a few weeks and it's finally at the stage where it's almost recognisable. After checking I came to the conclusion that the Jadi 8070 is a wee bit overscale so decided to do this for my NH lineup. Basic hull. Start of grain tank. Some pulleys where they will be visible!

jdc Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) Reel and auger Header trial Bits so far all piled up!

Paul Palmer Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) now thats a proper scratch build, if i ever get as close and good as that is i would be very very happy john, thats just superb mate if this was ever produced by uh,britains siku or whoever then i would be p****d off,tractors i think are not to bad to do convo wise,there are so many bits you can cannabalise from other models,but this is what i call scratch building,same as the combines you have done sean,and others on here,really a highly developed skill Edited February 11, 2012 by paulali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 what a fantastic built already... extremely skillful.. that header is already amazing!!! this is a topic i must follow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 This is just fabulous! . Looking forward to seeing the end product. You wouldn't be able to build me a header like that for my Jadi Toys combine would you ? Mine is piddled up and I was thinking of rebuilding it and detailing it. Maybe make it into an 8080 if the overscale would be alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 In a league of your own, you are John. Having done such an outstanding job on your TX34, dare I say it but I can see you trumping that by the time this is done..... and that TX was really something!! I think you should strike up a partnership with Nigel Ford producing kits for a new SCALEdown range.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
